Find a Solution to Your Resolution!

Last night was New Years Eve and the figure of 12% was given as the percentage of successful New Years Resolutions.

As many of us recover from a hectic holiday season we all start thinking about being the best versions of ourselves as we head into the promise of the New Year.  This often means that we think about ways to keep fit, loose weight and tone up. Most importantly, I would argue, we need to find ways to do all of this and have fun, form friendships and keep the feeling of promise going long into the years to come as it is these rewards which give so much more than a lower reading on the scales!

How do you find all this?  The answer is look for it - try lots of new things and see what makes you happy!  

Think outside the box - Join a book club but walk to the meetings, like the idea of exercise with glamour try Burlesque, need something thats low impact but dont fancy aquafit try bellydancing! 

Bellydancing is the dance form where I first found the sheer enjoyment of doing something for myself, it has over the years given me a great support, both in the people that I dance with and in the freedom that dancing provides.  It has become such an important part of my life that I now teach dancing full time!

There are classes all over the country and within County Durham and the North East there are teachers who have different styles again I would say try them all til you find the class that makes you excited to leave the house on a dark, wet february eve because it gives you that 'lift'.

If you would like to begin your New Years Resolution quest with bellydance just get in touch and come and join one of the Jewels of the East open level class!
